How it plays
- Pick one player in each row. Stay under the $50,000 cap. You can't afford every star, so each one costs you somewhere else.
- Lock it in. The score is your points as a share of the best card that fits the cap. There is exactly one.
- Then run a game day. Every player gets a score from a random swing around his number. It is not a model of anything. It shows what a projection is: a middle, not a promise.
- One card a day. A new one comes at midnight Eastern. Everyone gets the same card, every player is made up, and there are no prizes or entries. Your results stay in this browser.
This is the same sum a real lineup asks. The lineup builder runs it on a full slate, and Build a lineup walks through the math.
